OpenHabit vs HabitFlow
OpenHabit (@openhabit_bot) is the safer choice: an established tracker with a reminder per habit, heatmaps and streaks, a free core with no habit limit and a Premium tier with CSV export. HabitFlow (@habit_flow_app_bot) does more inside its Mini App, with a reflection journal, mood and energy charts, days-since counters for habits you quit and an AI chat on your own OpenRouter key, but it is brand new and its bot profile has no description yet. Choose HabitFlow if journaling next to your habits matters more to you than a track record.
